Everyone these days talks about their "RIGHTS", but nobody ever seems willing to discuss the RESPONSIBILITIES that go along with those rights. Our whole system of justice is not just based on RIGHTS, but on RESPONSIBILITIES as well... if you don't live up to your RESPONSIBILITIES, we take away your RIGHTS. Perhaps the most disturbing incarnation of this trend is judges allowing people to blame others for their own actions... people suing McDonald's for being fat, for instance! Here's an example I found today...
In 2007, a STRIPPER named Patsy Hamaker was working at The Furnace strip club in Birmingham, Alabama.
One night, Patsy got completely hammered while at work. Her blood-alcohol content was nearly three times the legal limit, and she was so out-of-control that she had to be physically removed from the club's VIP room after causing a scene.
Anyway, Patsy attempted to drive off at least three times, but the club's security guards were able to stop her each time. But on her fourth attempt, Patsy was successful. At which point she proceeded to CRASH her car on the highway, breaking her nose and back.
Then after recovering from her injuries, Patsy decided to bring a $1.2 MILLION lawsuit against The Furnace because they didn't stop her from driving drunk . . . at least not enough times.
And on Tuesday, a jury awarded Patsy $100,000 to cover the cost of her medical bills.
To recap, PATSY got wasted... AT WORK... her employers tried to stop her from driving three times... PATSY finally snuck away and drove under the influence... PATSY crashed her car... and yet the STRIP CLUB is apparently responsible for it all... (?!?!?!)
That's it... I'm suing my parents for passing along a gene pool that prevented me from fulfilling my dream to be a male underwear model...
